[Q] G2x Straight Talk APN Settings w/ CM7 - T-Mobile LG G2x

Does anyone know what the correct settings are for APN to get data and MMS working for the G2x with Staight Talk and a CM7 stable build ROM?
I have tried literally everything, and nothing works. I briefly saw Edge network for about 3 minutes one morning, but that's it. No 4G and no MMS.
Please let me know ASAP. Thanks so much!!

Apparently I have to post ten times before entering "outside links" (even though they're APN settings). So here goes a bunch of annoying bumps...

And I have to wait five minutes between each post? This is ungodly annoying. Anyway, here's the APN settings, sort of:
Name: StraightTalk ATT
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http//)mmsc(.)cingular(.)com
MMSC proxy: 66(.)209(.)11(.)33
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: Not set
APN type: default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4
APN enable/disable: APN enabled (tick mark checked but grayed out anyways)
Bearer: Unspecified
Because of this boards overly aggressive anti spam security, I had to put some of the characters in the addresses above in parentheses. Just remove the start and end parenthesis to deduce the setting.
I still am utterly lost as to why they need email verification + captcha + no web links + wait five minutes between posts. The captcha itself would suffice.

If you're using an att straight talk sim, u won't get 4g on the g2x. Different radio frequencies..

Well that's good to know. But I thought I could pick between T-mobile and AT&T with the same SIM, yes? I just have to choose the right MVNO, which it seems you're saying is the T-mobile one, yes?
Any and all help is very much appreciated!

No. You need a T-Mobile straight talk sim to get 4g service. With att straight talk sim you will only get edge. They give different sims for each gsm provider.

Okay this is ridiculously good to know, as I'll be able to spend another 15 bucks and get the thing to work. Thanks so much I'll try this and see what happens...
... incidentally, when I purchased the phone, I just selected "GSM compatible phone" which apparently means AT&T and not T-mobile....

Call them and see if they will send another sim, its worth a shot..
And technically gsm compatible phone could be att or T-Mobile. I think they assume att though because att provides better coverage.

Well, I got the new SIM (they didn't offer to send me one, btw), and I put in this information:
Name: Straight Talk
APN: wap.tracfone
Port: 8080
MMSC: http://mms.tracfone.com
Left everything else default/blank and sure enough, still no data. I just transferred the service over to the new SIM, so I hope this is just some sort of delay that is normal (the website says it could take 24 hours, but this seems kind of bizarre to me). Can anyone confirm?

no internet, need to flash stock?

so i just got my infuse 4g today, switching from a captivate. anyways as soon as i moved my sim card over network would register but internet wouldnt work.
(no symbol 3g edge etc...)
in my captivate net worked no problem.
anyways do you think its a sim card problem?
i flashed infuse rom & it didnt fix the no internet issue, also packet data is enabled.
should i flash stock and take it to a store? also whats the newest stock version out on the phone?
You need a 4g enabled similar card. That's what ATT told me
.......infuse.....Infused....infusion.........
Captivate is 3g Infuse is 4g different so you have to change your data plan to a 4g one the sim will work. What's strange is once you change your plan you can still use the sim in a Captivate
CM7, Nightly. Captivate

Go to wireless and network settings and check the APNs there. Could be a case of missing APN.
Funny you brought this up. Got my Infuse Sunday, rooted, flashed life was great. I was at home, so was using wifi to save dataplan usAge. Well, today at work no internet. Just got off phone with att . Changed to 4g data plan(same price) and 4g is on! Using my original sim from 2004.

no no no.. you are all incorrect
no!!! you dont have to get a 4g plan.. the problem is the same i had as with my sgs ii.. the default apn in the phone assumes you have the 4g plan enabled and will not work without it..
add a new apn as follows and reboot and activate it and i should work fine..
also this still works with pseudo 4g ie h+ also, and works with family plan unlimted data.

I was aware of that but chose to offer the simplest of the two options.
Yes it's not difficult to change apn but it is still easyer to change the plan, and there had been some issues early on after the inspire was released with changing apn while still on the old Data plan

Only real drawback is if you're on the unlimited plan, they try to make you go to tiered, don't let them.

Change your APN settings!

When i started using my Skyrocket i noticed my data was very patchy(would work here and there and not let me open certain websites and speedtest.net app was not connecting at all). I looked into the APN settings and noticed it said "PTA". I looked into this and found out that it was for the new LTE network. I do not live near a LTE area nor do i think ill be getting it anytime soon(i live in south new jersey). So i googled at&t hspa+ settings and found this forum that gave the settings for hspa+ and mms and rebooted my Skyrocket. Boom! Ping times down to 80 and speedtest.net app connects asap. Every single thing i do that involves internet is instant. If you dont have LTE in your area i highly recommend doing this.

I live in Maine, we don't even have "4g", let alone lte. I have not messed with my APN settings and data has been flawless for me. I get 3.5-4mb consistently at my house (3g) where I used t get anywhere from 500kb-2.5mb, with a rare spike of 3mb. I also have yet to try anything data wise on my phone that was "blocked" or didn't work.
This temporary solve the problem. At&t is behind this. Take a look at your plan. From I'm seen the Unlimited plan I was grandfather in has restrictions impulse . The 2GB data plan said you could freely stream, search ect. Calling at&t wtf is this BS. Piss off
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Data speeds vary so widely depending on 100's of factors. The "speedtest" apps themselves are barely reliable, you can run them 5 times in a row and get huge variations. You can't get true results based on one 5 second download. One time I get 10ms ping and 5 seconds later I get 9,500ms. One time I get .2Kbps and 5 seconds later I get 9MBps download.
Most of these speed test results and their fixes are just smoke and mirrors and the "results" are totally meaningless because they will vary from one SECOND to the next.

Yep, it's probably to get you off the unlimited plan.
Just call AT&T and tell them what kind of bull**** is this, ***** for a long time, threaten to cancel your service and go to Verizon for an LTE network that's faster (lies) and spread out more, and I'm sure they'll come to some agreement.
I am on an an unlimited plan i have had many phones that never had this issue and my data was consistant. I knew it had to do with the APN. FOR ME this worked. It seemed like my skyrocket was picky about websites and facebook did not want to refresh and the issue with the soeedtest.net app wasnt its accuracy it simply would not connect AT ALL. It just never found a connection. When i would use wifi everything worked perfect for me and still does. I did not delete the stock APN so when lte comes around ill just go back but for now im back to my normal CONSISTANT bandwidth. And im clocking faster speeds at my house than any other phone ive used

I am on an LTE data plan but I don't have LTE in my area so I tried switching this too. I was unable to get MMS to work, although my MMS works fine on both the pta apn and the wap.cingular apn.
to prove that it's "at&t conspiracy" to make grandfathered user to switch...
Anyone using the PTA APN with the 2GB "Unlimited" Plan have issues going to sites like.. say www.justin.tv?
I personally think the PTA APN is restricted and has NOTHING to do with which plan someone has.
Find someone with a 2GB Plan and ask them to use the PTA APN and see if they can get to ... www.justin.tv

good so we can lay this to rest that
1) the new PTA APN is restricted, and it DOES NOT matter if you have an unlimited grandfather plan or a 2GB plan. it's JUST AT&T blocking certain website
2) there is NO secret/conspiracy with AT&T trying to get unlimited grandfather plan people to switch to the 2GB plan, because regardless which plan one has, if you are using the PTA APN... it's restricted.
I added the apn to my list and now I can access the Justin.TV site. Thanks for the input.

[Q] StraightTalk APN Settings not working

Okay I just bough a motorola atrix 2 and set up straight talk on it, the phone and messages work but not the internet, I have tried many different apn that i saw on google but non work at all the phone displays the 4g but no internet I searched everywhere but no luck looking for here for help
Straight Talk might not support the HDSPA(4G) network that the A2 is set to run. Did you flash it or how is it working on StraightTalk? We need more info.
Its your sim card. It has to have the 3g or 4g enabled on it. If you were on att they could do it at a store or talking to an operator. Since you are on straight talk i honestly don't know who could do it. I'm not familiar with straight talk do i don't know.

I didn't know you could do that now. i got the e71 when it first came out with them.
Yea, they got tired of people using work arounds and found or a way they can make loads of cash so now they sell Sim cards. They even sell micro Sim for iPhone 4 and 4s. Personally I think its genius.
Sent from my fresh Atrix 2
I had this same problem for straight talk using the at&t sim and followed the Starter KIT to every word but the internet failed to work. Finally figured it out and shared it here.
Basically what happens is that it tells us to set the Proxy to: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Do not do this, the internet will not work while everything else will. Leave it blank. I don't know why this is for my particular smart phone but i can assure you that is the problem you are having.

have you tried contacting them directly? I think they may be better at helping you with their service imo
no offense to zel of course.
I still am thinking the sim card is improperly configured on thier end and you should try getting a new one
I did call & this is what they said, we do not support 4G phones thats all they said i asked if there was some way unlocking it or something & they said no that they dont support 4g phones & they cant do anything about it.
i have a go phone pantech cell phone & the internet works fine there 2 so i dont know wats the problem wat should i do
You have to buy one of the data packs. The 50 unlimited is for non smart phones, smart phones require a separate data package try the smallest one and see if it works. I have a gophone Sim in my galaxy s2 and have no problems with data just don't get LTE.

Unlocked on Straight Talk. Data Switching/Drop Issue

Having an issue with my unlocked HTC One S on straight talk. I cant seem to get it to hold a data connection. When I go in the About - Network it will show it going from HSPA to UMTS constantly. I have searched every type on different APN set up for ATT straight talk and tried them all. Here are my APN settings currently
Name - Home
APN - att.mvno
Proxy - blank (So i can use speed test, youtube, ect)
Port - 80
MMSC - mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy - 66.209.11.33
MMS Port - 80
I have a galaxy s 3 that works perfectly with Stright Talk with no data issues or drops.
Anyone else have this issue and/or resolved it?
Out of curiosity do you know if it does the same thing with T-Mobile straight talk?

I personally haven't seen it used on Straight Talk using T-Mobile towers. But when it was being used on T-Mobile contract it didn't have the issue.
